car - dad's nhc - aug 2006

date - last week

two accidents in span of one week.

First

first one happened, when dad was abt to get into the car from the wrong side becos there was lot of dirt on the left hand side. he just sat inside and a rickshaw fello just banged into the rear right door before it could be shut. the impact resulted in the door losing its alignment and therefore could not be shut at all.

they were still at ghatkopar and had to reach office at navi mumbai.

lucikly dad had sat in the car or he would have been injured as he was just in line of impact.

they got the car to navi mumbai, holding the door throughout the 45 min journey.

took the car to husband's workshop and he just set it right.

but all this while, we dint know that this wasnt enough.

Second

on thursday there was a lot of traffic near mankhurd towards ghatkopar and the driver had just slowed down when a tata truck just banged from behind.

they got down but dint do much about collecting some money from the truck driver as he seemed to be too rowdy for them. the cars behind them had also started honking.

the damages - boot bore the brunt of huge impact. a big dent, completely misaligned. just manages to close.

rear right tail light - broken, has to be changed.

bumper - not broken but has bent quite a bit so will have to be reworked.

rear right fender too has some minor dents.

total damages - set back of 10/12 k .

all this for no fault of ours.

Ultimately our NHC isnt new any more.

just wanted to vent out the frustration of losing out on Rs 3000/- NCB cos will have to claim the insurance.
